Though, I do like to get things that they like, flowers for the garden, new blouse, knick knacks, a lot of times we collect way too much stuff. As is my mothers case, I am trying to get her to get rid of stuff (she's a pack rat) but she says she feels guilty getting rid of something someone gave her. My feelings are I appreciate every gift I get, but if I have no use for the gift anymore and someone else can use it (not regift but good will or rummage sale) then it's a gift that keeps on giving.
Ideas for other mothers day gifts - time at the spa, hair dresser, wine tasting day. I had a carpet cleaning company come in for George's parents to do their rugs for x-mas. I try to do things that are never thought of or things that they want done but have little time to do.
